Step 1

In a large pot, melt the cooking fat over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom of the pot. When the fat is hot add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the squash, garlic, and ginger and stir until the garlic becomes aromatic, about 1 minute

Step 2

Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Book until the butternut squash is soft, about 10 minutes. Remov from pot from the heat.

Step 3

In one or two batches, transfer the soup to a food processor or blender on high speed until smooth in texture. Return the pureed soup to the pot

Step 4

Heat the soup over medium-high heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Add chicken or other meat to make a complete meal. Last 3 minutes add kale or spinach if you want greens.
